Abstract

Infant and child mortality remains a major concern worldwide and more particularly in developing countries such as Mali. This is to better understand the reasons for this high mortality in Koutiala in the Sikasso region of Mali. Its objective was to assess the main determinants of deaths of malnourished children under 5 years of age occurring at the URENI (Unit for Recovery and Intensive Nutritional Education) in Koutiala. Materials/Methods: this was a cross-sectional descriptive study that took place in the URENI pediatrics department of the Koutiala reference health center, an exchange with the district management team, the documentary review , Observations on the task of the agents, Interviews of the actors involved in the care, analysis of the medical files of the malnourished children and the individual sheets for the follow-up of the malnourished cases admitted to the URENI. A pre-established framework made it possible to collect data through the admission register of malnourished children. The entry and analysis of the data collected were carried out using SPSS 21.0 and EXCEL 2016 software. Results: Children aged 6 to 23 months who died represented 44.4% and 72.2% were male. 11.1% of the children came from the urban city and 18.1% who were from the rural area; the most frequent type of malnutrition was marasmus with 59.7% followed by kwashiorkor with 20.8%. More than half (88.9%) of the children were seen by referral. Conclusion: this study revealed in Koutiala that marasmus was the most frequent form of malnutrition and many children who died came from outside the health district. It was also noted that infection (sepsis) was the main cause of death of children hospitalized at the URENI in Koutiala.
